((katie boer)) the thunderbirds are known as high-flying airforce ambassaders--or as i like to call them...sky cowboys. here in southern nevada... is comprised of highly experienced f-16 fighter pilots. their job simply stated? .. inspire america's future military. but as i learned-- there's nothing simple about it. ---- from screaching mach-2 speeds.. (( nat pop )) to vertical loops and inverted upside-down fly-bys... (( nap pop)) only the air force's most elite-trained pilots get a shot at showing off their style in this squad. (( nat pop of tbirds flying by to serve as transition

the specialized 57th --- invited me along for the ride ((quick nat: kb getting her patches: "oh nice" )) but before i can even fly shotgun... hitching a ride inside the cockpit of an f-16 fighting falcon comes with major training. ((nat pop -- just to set the scene from our training -- only 2 sec! )) like squeezing excercises to prevent tunnel vision... ... and breathing techniques... (( it should look something like this so try that for me a couple times chh hoo chhh hooo good, )) .....this "hook maneouver"....a procedure designed to maximize lung capacity while experiencin just one question... (( kb: how often do people pass out? surgeon: very very very seldom )) guess that's good enough for me but first... i need the right equipment. (( "so were going to have you throw this on" :48 )) (( : "i feel like i got chaps on )) (( "i feel like im going up in space here" )) (( : " guys are like the sky cowboys!!" )) despite the current flight suit i'm wearing the crew still needs to size and fit me to a compression g-suit

kb: snug as a bug in a rug )) pop of lever being reased on suit (( good nat of different buckle for chest harness "abd it locks in like that )) (( crew: you want to kind of wiggle yourself in kb: oh? )) right.... i may look ridiculous, but this vest is designed to help circulate blood from my feet up to my upper body -- that and it will help keep me strapped into the jet. this fighter jet, sitting on the tarmac has my name on it--no really! number 8 in the fleet is piloted by major scott petz -- better known by these guys as "cheetah" --- i'm about to find out why. (( ready to go? kb: yep! petz: alright )) come.... inaudiable as he describes our takeoff :19 )) our "max climb takeoff" seems more like like a space shuttle and can climb 30-thousand feet a minute! (( kb: laughing oh my gosh! holy cow! pilot: we went a long way quickly, huh? kb: oh wow! )) (( "this is the craziest coolest thing i've ever done in my entire life" )) and you think takeoff's crazy? these jets go negative 3 to a whopping 9 g's. nothing to ease you into that quite like making your passenger take over the reins...

(( pilot: here we go... here...come...the g's )) in less than a second... my body )) in less than a second... my body feels like it's sucked back into my seat... pilot: remember don't forget to breath okay )) at 9-g's...the gravitational force makes my body feel nine times heavier. (( kb a little calmer: oh my god. pilot: cool huh? kb: that was incredible!! )) that force... ((nat of jet returning to nellis )) and a flight --- i won't soon forget ((nat of loud jet noise as crews are bringing us back in )) (( kb hugging pilot kb: that was amazing thank you so much )) ---- ((katie boer)) okay... i was impressed---but the "ambasaders in blue" don't do these stunts to impress me.

i wanted the same plan that my mother had. senior dimensions. i've had senior dimensions for over 20 years. and i love it! if you're eligible for medicare, you need to take a look at the plan that offers you more than original medicare.

dollar copay for primary care doctor visits. and, our members pay a zero dollar copay for specialist visits and a zero dollar copay for hospital stays as well. i wanted a plan that's been here as long as we have. senior dimensions is one of the longest-standing local medicare advantage plans in nevada, and our plan offers many tier one preferred generic drugs for a zero dollar copay at most local neighborhood pharmacies. i like that i have plenty of doctors and specialists to choose from. senior dimensions offers a broad network of local providers one of the largest and fastest growing multi- specialty groups in nevada. it's what i want. and she gets what she wants!
